Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

Episode 160: The Resurrecting Undead Bird

"Stop..."

The grieving voice of the girl was echoed in the Rock Mountain area, located east on the map.

Luca-Teenamo is the name of the girl who exercises the magic of the recovery system while muddy her golden hair. Luca desperately keeps exercising her restorative magic on the red-haired girl because she won't end her precious best friend's magician life.

"Please, stop"

The red-haired girl in front of Luca doesn't move with her lid closed.

The red-haired girl, Serena's flesh doesn't see so many wounds, but she had very deep wounds in her abdomen. A small but deep stab wound to the abdomen, from which there is still dodgy and massive blood flowing.

Luca was putting her hand on Serena's wound and pouring in the magic of light attributes in an attempt to stop the bleeding somehow. By instilling the magic of light attributes, he was trying to increase Serena's ability to play.

But Serena's bleeding won't stop.

"Why..."

Luca wanted to curse her lack of strength. The Tinamo family, a family of Lucas, is primarily a family centred on support, which naturally includes the magic of the recovery system.

Luca, however, has lagged behind the magical mastery of the recovery system in her previous life. Because it's also true that I hesitated to exercise magic on the human body, but I didn't need any more magic from the recovery system.

Luca, who attends a magic school, rarely encounters situations where people get hurt. That's because the School of Magic is a safe place, and hands-on training doesn't hurt you by example junctions.

Even if you get injured, there's no problem if you leave it to the medical faculty at school.

That's why it was definitely more meaningful to practice other, practicable magic in that portion of time, as long as it took to master the magic of the recovery system.

And Luca has spent so much time without questioning the idea that the magic of the recovery system was neglected and the magic of the degree of first aid commonly required could not be used.

"If you do the magic of the recovery system properly..."

Naturally, if we can't treat Serena, who is heavy because Luca can't even use the magic of first aid, we can't stop the bleeding.

Besides, Luca hasn't noticed, the procedure Luca is undergoing right now has clearly made Serena's thing worse. Luca was increasing the speed of her blood flow where she would otherwise have to increase Serena's regenerative power.

I mean, Serena was losing blood faster than usual right now.

Perhaps if we keep this up, in less than five minutes, Serena will be the one who won't return from the bloodshed.

"Why... why..."

But Luca, not knowing that, was desperately pouring the magic of light attributes into Serena's body.

Meanwhile, a brunette ponytail girl nodded near Luca, desperately treating Serena. Its shoulders tremble and it seems to regret what it has done.

"I... make people..."

The name of the girl who thinks she killed someone in an accidental accident is Raña-Arun. She is a girl situated directly in the line of Arun Liu Demonic Swordsmanship, also famous in the Kingdom of Leiria.

Ranya stabbed people with a knife for the first time in her life. With an unintentional strike that's not ready either. That may be too heavy a reality to let a seventeen-year-old girl carry, but the fact remains that Ranya stabbed Serena with a knife.

Lagna has to face this fact. And Ranya knows she has to live with the burden of killing Serena.

That is the readiness that Ranya, the swordsman, had to bear one day.

But though I know how much with my head, I still have something that comes to my mind when it actually happens. Raña stares into her own hands and remembers how she felt when she stabbed Serena.

The resistance I did feel when I stabbed him. That feeling is the act of taking lives, the price you have to feel.

"Oh......"

The more Ranya remembered the sensation, the colder she could see the core of her body lurking.

"I..."

Ranya driven by regret several times already. That's nothing but the earliest negative spiral. But that was the time.

"What's this!?

Luca, a sudden best friend, shouted out near Lagna.

Raña turns quickly, surprised that Luca, who had been treating Serena with the magic of the recovery system since earlier, suddenly shouted.

Then there was something incredible there.

"What... that..."

Ranya suddenly loses her words to the incredible sight that appeared in front of her.

Because what was there was what Serena looked like when she was burned in a golden jar.

"Laña, what do we do?

"Luca......"

I hold Ranya's hand with Luca's anxious look.

"What did you do?

"I don't know."

Lagna couldn't understand what had happened and asked Luca about it. But even from Luca, I didn't understand what had happened. When I was trying to stop the bleeding (actually promoting the loss of blood), there was a sudden burning of gold from Serena's wound.

And the golden jaw instantly began to envelop Serena's entire body. That brings me to the present situation.

"Is this cremation?

"That's why..."

In response to what Luca said, Lagna could not return anything.

You wouldn't even think you're cremating the body if you were to judge the current state objectively, but that's not possible with normal thinking. And Serena's body doesn't burn for being burned.

This means that the current state is not cremation.

So what the hell happened to Serena now? I think Ranya and Luca.

But I knew the answer right away.

"Ranya, that..."

I point to Serena's body with such expressions as Luca's incredible.

When Lagna also saw the place Luca pointed out late, there was a surprise sight spread there.

"What do you mean?!?

Oh, my God, what was spreading ahead of Ranya's sight was Serena's wound, which was slowly blocking. The wound there is indisputable, the wound I stabbed myself with.

Ranya couldn't believe what was happening in front of her.

"What is that?

"I don't know."

The two of them could only stare at the incomprehensible sight that was happening in front of them in vain.

And a few minutes after the golden jaws began to wrap Serena's body, the golden jaws suddenly disappear. And only Serena's body remained, but the wound that Ranya had put on had already disappeared without a trace.

"Hmm... looks like you managed to succeed"

The golden jaw disappears and Serena wakes up. The expression was somewhere clear and full of accomplishments. Seeing Serena like that, Lagna and Luca could only lose their words.

It would also be impossible because the girl, who could have died as long ago, stood up as if nothing had happened. Serena's movements were so normal that she wanted to suspect that she had really been stabbed.

"Um, are you okay?

"What? Oh, me? It's okay."

When Luca asks Serena with hesitation, Serena answers as if nothing had happened.

For a moment, the two of them wondered if it was really even a dream, but that's not true. The feeling that lingers in Ranya's hands is real.

Ranya thinks she stabbed herself again and apologizes to Serena.

"Uh, well, I stabbed you. I'm sorry."

Ranya bows her head deeply towards Serena. Serena looks at it like she doesn't understand what she was told for a moment, but she answers by remembering what happened just before she immediately lost her mind.

"It's okay. Because this is how I live."

"So, but I..."

Stabbed you. Ranya tried to say it to the end, but before that, Serena's hands blocked her mouth, and she couldn't continue.

"That was an accident. And if I did bad, I might have killed you better..."

"That may be... but I..."

Serena has trouble with Lagna, who doesn't eat down inside.

Serena happened to be the one who was slashed this time, but if she had taken a wrong step, Serena might have decided to head shot Luca and killed her.

Given that, no one is responsible for this accident. If I were to insist, I would be the one who lost the effect of the example junction.

But Lagna was not allowed. Even if it's an accident, it doesn't change that I stabbed Serena. I couldn't forgive Ragna's samurai spirit without anything like this.

Serena says when she realizes that.

"Okay, then meditate your eyes"

"Huh? Eyes?

"Yes, come on"

Serena tells me to reluctantly meditate on my eyes, Ranya. Then the next moment, there was the sound of a pickpocket.

"What?"

Ranya feels shocked near her forehead and hurries to open her eyes. Then Lagna's vision showed Serena, who would have just decopined.

"Yes, that's it"

That's the way Serena puts it on. Serena wasn't willing to blame Ragna from the edge, but she did decopin for Ragna, who really wanted to put on the bullshit.

Naturally, there is no way that Ranya can be satisfied with this, but Ranya sees and guesses Serena's expression. that Serena has already thought about:

Serena had already thought about the causes of this accident.

So Ranya is also incompletely burned, but for one thing I decided to leave this matter with you.

"Well, thanks."

"Fine, never mind"

"Good for you, Ranya"

Luca says happily.

But the next moment Serena's expression switched.

"By the way, have you figured out why the junction disappeared?

That's what Serena thinks deeply in psychology, even as she loses consciousness. But the two answers to that question could not be said to be the answer.

"You're not sure about that."

"The junction has disappeared, but no announcement has been made"

"That's weird."

Serena takes seriously what the hell is going on.

"There is still no bond"

"It's like only the junction has disappeared."

"!?... it's like the junction has disappeared..."

Serena caught on to Luca's casual words.

It's like it's gone, it's like it's gone, the junction's gone.

"Maybe!?

It's unprecedented that the junction disappeared during the Leirian Magic Games. If there's trouble on the operational side, it's not strange to have some sort of action immediately.

But so far, without any action, there is no announcement. Obviously too abnormal.

"If you think the absence of an announcement is an obstruction... perhaps this is artificial..."

"What are you talking about!?

"That's right, Leiria. There's no one to go to the magic tournament."

Ranya and Luca argue with Serena's crush. If this is indeed an artificial thing, Tsujitsu fits. But there is no such thing as trying to sell a fight to a Leirian magic tournament.

That's common sense.

But there are places in the world where that common sense doesn't make sense. And Serena knows about places like that.

(Maybe you should think I'm here to pay you back)

Serena assumes the worst, and tells the two of them.

"Maybe we're going to risk our lives and the battle will begin."

The two of us could only be surprised by Serena's words like that.
